Zooniverse × Experiment

A collaboration with the Zooniverse community on AI-assisted annotation tools for citizen science.

is a platform for sharing AI-powered annotation tools with the community, built by , , and myself, with initial funding from the University of Toronto’s Data Science Institute.

The idea is to let AI models assist volunteers in their annotations — for example, a brush tool where models suggest regions to mark on galaxy images, and volunteers can accept or correct those suggestions. The platform currently hosts projects involving galaxies from the Euclid space telescope.

My contribution focused on developing an interactive brush-based tool for generating segmentation masks.

STAROS Projects

Fri, 01 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0000

STAROS Projects develops spectroscopy tools and observation campaigns to foster professional–amateur (pro-am) collaborations in astronomy.

As a member of the group, I participate in several instrumentation and spectroscopy-focused initiatives for observational astronomy.

Spectroscopic Database Development

Creation of a dedicated spectroscopic database derived from multiple observing campaigns. This resource supports analysis workflows for stellar, solar, and atmospheric spectra.

Collaborative Observation Campaigns

Organizing multi-month observation campaigns where astronomers contribute spectroscopic data. The alpha Draconis campaign mobilized several astronomers over several months, consolidating more than 10 consecutive days of observations from over 200 spectra.

Alpha Draconis — Orbital Parameters

Results of a STAROS monitoring campaign on the bright eclipsing binary star α Draconis. Over 200 high-resolution spectra were obtained by an international group of amateur astronomers.
